The latest Ben Revere MLB and fantasy baseball news

Fantasy Tip: Revere is a former Minnesota Twins prospect who appears to have found a new home in Philadelphia. That said, he carries little power and not much fantasy value except maybe in deeper NL leagues.

Philadelphia Phillies OF Ben Revere (ankle) said he was bothered by pain in his right ankle through much of last season but feels much better now. "I've been running and cutting," he said. "No pain. I feel good. It slowed me up definitely. Some jumps after the ball I hesitated because of it. I knew it was there. Some bases I tried to steal, running down the line I'd slow down, hitting, trying to get out of the box, diving for a ball. It was tough. It was so frustrating."

Philadelphia Phillies OF Ben Revere (ankle) had surgery to remove screws from his right ankle Tuesday, Sept. 30, and he'll be in a walking boot for roughly two weeks. However, he is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year.

Philadelphia Phillies OF Ben Revere was hitless in four at-bats with a rare strikeout Tuesday, Aug. 19, against the Seattle Mariners. He entered the game as the hardest player in the National League to strikeout, as he has fanned once per every 11.9 at-bats.

Fantasy Tip:Ben Revere is dealing with an ankle injury, which explains the move. Sizemore could see semi-regular playing time, but he's unlikely to suddenly become an everyday player unless a trade or serious injury opens up a spot in the outfield.
